COMMENTS:
This half hardy perennial has rooting stems, aromatic hairy leaves, and white to mauve flowers producing knotlike seed clusters.

Uses: Sweet Marjoram leaves have a sweeter, spicier taste than the leaves of oregano. It is a popular culinary herb used in salads, sauces, cheese, and in liquers. As an aromatic tea, Marjoram aids digestion, relieves flatulence, colds, and headaches, soothes nerves, and encourages menstruation. The leaves are enjoyed in scented sachets and sweet waters, and were once rubbed on oak floors as a fragrant polish. Marjoram essential oil, distilled from the leaves and flowering tops, is anti-oxidant, reducing skin aging. It is also antiviral, eases spasms, and stimulates local circulation. The oil is added to perfumes and cosmetics.

Digestive Aid: Is a antispasmodic and so may help with soothing the digestive tract and preventing motion sickness.

Women's health:The antispasmodic action of Marjoram can help soothe all muscles and may help with menstrual cramps.

Herpes: Marjoram inhibits the growth of the virus that causes genital herpes and cold sores. Sprinkle the dry powdered herb on infected area.

Dosage: To bring on menstruation and releive digestive problems use 1-2 teaspoons dried herbage and flowers to 1 cup of boiling water. Steep for 10 minutes and drink up to 3 cups per day.

Marjoram Leaf C/S Cert. Organic (Origanum marjorana) 1 lb: C Marjoram Leaf C/S Cert. Organic (Origanum marjorana) 1 lb: C

This is Starwest's nitrogen-flushed double wall silverfoil pack. Sweet Marjoram is an Old World perennial aromatic herb of the mint family, cultivated in gardens for flavoring of various kinds of recipes. The closely related European pot, or wild, marjoram (Origanum vulgare) has similar uses and is the spice usually sold as oregano, although other species may be called oregano. The generic names Marjorana and Origanum are frequently interchanged. Dried marjoram and thyme are called the 'sausage herbs,' and are extensively used throughout Europe. Marjoram and bay leaves are combined in innumerable meat and vegetable dishes. Marjoram exhibits germicidal activity in lab tests, and was formerly used as a mild antiseptic. The dried leaves and flowers are considered medicinal, as is Marjoram oil. Infuse as a tea for colds and headaches. Add a decoction to bath water as a relaxant. Use in potpourri and scented pillows. The tops yield origanum oil, once used medicinally but more recently for perfuming soaps. Grieve's classic 'A Modern Herbal': 'The medicinal qualities of the oil extracted from Sweet Marjoram are similar to that of the Wild Marjoram. In the commencement of measles, it is useful in producing a gentle perspiration and bringing out the eruption, being given in the form of a warm infusion, which is also valuable in spasms, colic, and to give relief from pain in dyspeptic complaints. An infusion made from the fresh plant will relieve nervous headache, by virtue of the camphoraceous principle contained in the oil.'

Marjoram, Wild Essential Oil ½ oz: K Marjoram, Wild Essential Oil ½ oz: K

Wild marjoram oil is not a variety of marjoram but is actually distilled from a species of wild thyme which grows in Spain. The oil has a strong, sweet-spicy, eucalyptus fragrance and is used in small amounts in massage oils for its invigorating, tension-easing effect. Aromatherapy benefits: purifying, clarifying. Essential, absolute and resin oils are volatile, fragrant materials extracted from the root, bark, wood, seed, fruit, leaf or flower of a single plant. The plants used to produce these oils are grown on certified organic fields and are third-party certified by Quality Assurance International; no synthetic chemicals are used in growing or processing them. Steam distillation and cold pressing are used to extract the essential oil from the plant. Essential oils and absolutes are very potent and should always be used sparingly and in conjunction with a reliable reference. Essential oils contain the odor, taste and medicinal properties of the plant itself, but in very concentrated form, with no base oil, alcohol, water or dilutants added.
